Vanesa Šelmeková

She is the 2024 Tirnavia Ice Cup champion, the 2023 Tirnavia Ice Cup silver medalist, the 2024 Dragon Trophy bronze medalist, and a two-time Slovak national champion (2024, 2025).

Her mother Monika put her into the sport on the recommendation of a friend based on Šelmeková's early love of singing, dancing, and listening to music.

[4] She met the required minimum technical scores to compete at the 2024 World Championships late in the season, and the Slovak Figure Skating Union was divided about whether to send her; they ultimately decided to do so, but if she did not mean a target technical and overall score, she would have to pay the travel expenses for the competition herself.

[5] She expressed disappointment about her fall, and she did not reach the score targets set for her by the Slovakian federation.

[6] Šelmeková traveled to France to refine the choreography for her programs ahead of the 2025 European Championships in January.
